Man arrested for having 4 wives, 7 fiancees AND 5 girlfriends
The Malaysia Chronicle ^ | November 1, 2014

A Gambian national who goes by the name Sonko Tijan is languishing behind bars after being arrested in Austria for secretly and separately keeping four wives, seven fiancées and five girlfriends.

By this, the prolific lover has set Austria’s record for polygamy.

According to Cameroon-info.net, it ended with a honey trap at Vienna Airport after two of his wives realised they were married to the same man and complained to police.

Reports say the seducer had picked up women all across the country, using them for room and board whenever he was nearby and borrowing money from them which he never returned.

News reports said Tijan’s downfall came after he met Sonja Maier, who believed she had found love at first sight when she was swept off her feet by Tijan after meeting him in a bar. The 28-year-old from Gambia told her he felt the same, and after a whirlwind romance – and against the advice of her family – they were married a month later.

According to Dailymail, after a year of happy marriage she was pregnant and browsing Facebook when she happened across somebody with the same surname and a strikingly similar-looking husband.

Curiously, she delved into the woman’s profile. Then she realised this woman’s husband was not only similar looking, but actually identical.

The fact he had the same surname as her own spouse convinced her something was wrong....

Remember that a man ‘works sunup to sundown’ but ‘a woman’s work is never done’...

We just don’t have the time, and if we get a day off...we are too darn tired. Obviously this man never works with that many women to keep him up, so he has plenty of sexual energy.

Many women could keep up with him, but who wants AIDS, EBOLA, STDS, AND OTHER PARASITES caught from sleeping around....I have a saying ‘I would run over him looking for someone, if I was available to look and run.” lol I have standards and he ain’t even in the right race.

I would prefer someone who spent time at home and I was the central figure, and if he can’t be romantic and do that, well...don’t let the door hit you in the rear end! And I will pull my weight but I darn sure won’t pull his as well....Marriage is about team mates not bed mates.

That’s my two cents. You can’t get caught doing something wrong, if you are a one man woman...

And then there's this very strange case in the 18th century: This woman crossdressed and married 14 women. Not sure it counts as "female" bigamy, but...

Amazing that in the 1700s when she committed these crimes, she was sentenced to be publicly whipped in several of the cities where her victims lived. Here is a famous print by Cruikshank:

Too bad we have let the definition of "cruel and unusual" inflate into meaninglessness, while victims of crimes are left to suffer unimaginably. Not that this particular lot of victims — women who hook up with a stranger in a bar and then give him overnight privileges and money — garners any sympathy from me.

What's the punishment for polygamy in Austria?

Multiple mothers-in-law?

The man had 4 wives and 7 fiancées. Think of the Ethel Merman character in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World times eleven.

Amazing to me that this raises eyebrows in anyone on this thread.

What this guy is doing is pretty standard behavior in the post-LBJ American underclass of a certain demographic.

Exactly. I'm surprised this is even newsworthy. My immediate reaction is that when you hand out visas like candy to third-world savages, don't be surprised when they arrive and continue to behave like third-world savages.

Of course, here in America we have people who have been here for generations and still behave the same way.

There is sort of a version of that in Korean (obviously a cleaned up version) called “I am a man”. Not sure it will last too long.

I remember one patient we had that was a brittle diabetic and was hospitalize trying to find a reason that no matter what he did,, his blood sugar was way out of control...early 30’s, already in a wheelchair and he had a wife, girlfriend, and boyfriend. The nurses couldn't understand how they all visited him everyday and yet never ran into each other...sometimes they would pass in the hall, one going,one coming. None of them knew about the others.....strange things happen in a hospital..
